Retention forces in mini-dental-implant retained mandibular overdentures: 10-year outcomes of a non-comparative longitudinal observational study
Initial retention forces of mandibular IODs supported by four MDIs can be reestablished by replacing the O-rings with pristine ones after 10 years, with stable retention forces at both the male and female parts throughout the functional period, with no discernible differences between anterior and posterior implants.
